问题 Demography is the statistical study of human
populations. It can be a general science that can be applied
to any kind of dynamic population, that is, one that changed 【S1】______
over the time or space. It encompasses the study of the 【S2】______
size, structure and distribution of populations, and spatial
or temporal changes in them in response to birth, death,
migration and ageing.
Human demography is the most well known of discipline
demography, and typically what people refer when using 【S3】______
the term demography. Demographic analysis can be applied to
whole societies or to groups defined by criterion such as 【S4】______
education, nationality, religion and ethnicity. In academia,
demography is often regarded as a branch of either economy 【S5】______
or sociology. Formal demography limits its object of study
to the measurement of population processes, when the 【S6】______
more broad field of social demography studies also analyze
the relationships between economic, social, cultural and
biological processes influencing on a population. 【S7】______
Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406) is regarded as the "father of
demography" for his economic analysis of social organization
which produced the first scientific and theoretical work
on population, development, and group dynamics. At the
end of the 18th century, Thomas Malthus concluded that,
if unchecked, populations would be subject to exponential
growth. He feared that population growth would intend to 【S8】______
outstrip growth in food production, leading to ever increased 【S9】______
famine and poverty; he is seen as the intellectual father of
ideas of overpopulation and the limits for growth. Later 【S10】______
more sophisticated and realistic models were presented by
Benjamin Gompertz and Verhulst. [br] 【S8】

选项

答案 intend改成tend

解析本题辨析形近动词。动词intend和tend由于形式上相近，有时会被混淆。intend to do的意思是decide to do／plan to do，主语往往是有意识的行为发出者；tend to do的意思是usually／often happen，两者是完全不同的。从上下文来看，主语population growth并不是行为的主动发出者，应该用tend，而不是intend。
